We have never stayed in a VRBO property before. We booked through VRBO on the suggestion of a friend familiar with Oahu that told us to book North Shore & VRBO. I am a previous furnished rental manager, so my expectations were high. This condo did not disappoint in most areas. Pros: The beds were clean & comfortable. There were plenty of towels - bath, hand, kitchen & beach towels. The location was PERFECT. Quiet complex right across from one of the pools and walking distance to the Turtle Bay resort restaurants & beach. It was nice to have the kitchen to be able to keep drinks, snacks & light breakfast items. Cons: Only "cable" TV in the living room. No TV in the loft. TV in the bedroom had no cable & streaming via internet was laggy & disconnected frequently. (Owner was contacted and did respond quickly. Was going to get cable tv company out, but could not schedule within our visit. We did find that Netflix streamed pretty well on the tv, though still laggy at times) Loft was too hot for our adult kids to sleep up there, so they slept on the living room couch. (Which was fine for them, my husband worried about it more than they did) he bought an oscilating fan, which did help in the loft - we left it for the next guests) Condo was neat & clean until the last night we were looking for my sons necklace that he lost.... we lifted up the couch and found lots of trash, old food, dust-bunnies, etc. *Housekeeping should make sure to move furniture when cleaning in the future since it's all hardwood floors. Overall, was a comfortable, clean (99%), convenient place to stay. Would definitely consider staying with this owner in the future if (when) we return to Oahu. North Shore is THE PLACE to stay while in Oahu.
